On Broadway

Lyrics

George Benson

They say the neon lights are brightOn BroadwayThey say there's always magic in the airBut when you're walkin' down that streetAnd you ain't got enough to eatThe glitter rubs right off and you're nowhereThey say the chicks are somethin' elseOn BroadwayBut lookin' at them just gives me the blues'Cause how ya gonna make some timeWhen all you got is one thin dimeAnd one thin dime won't even shine your shoesThey say that I won't last too longOn BroadwayI'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all sayBut they're dead wrong, I know they are'Cause I can play this here guitarAnd I won't quit till I'm a starOn BroadwayBut they're dead wrong, I know they are'Cause I can play this here guitarAnd I won't quit till I'm a starOn BroadwayOn BroadwayI'm gonna make it, yeahOn BroadwayI'll be a big, big manOn BroadwayI'll have my name in lightsOn BroadwayEverybody gonna know meOn BroadwayAll up and down BroadwayOn Broadway
